I vegged this plant for about 5 weeks from seed. I topped it a few times and did LST also. This is my first time growing this strain. It is doing better than cfl's.
Here is some bud porn from under the 240 Blackstar, bud porn usually helps a thread out too. This is a picture of The Cheese at 64 days of 12/12 grown under a Blackstar 240. It should pack on some weight in the next 2-3 weeks, and give me a decent harvest. I'm really only hoping for 2 oz per...
I have the Blackstar 240 and I've got 2 plants in 3 gallon pots and 1 plant in a 1 gallon pot. Ultimately I think 2 is ideal for one light. I'm getting another blackstar in the next month so then i will have 2 240's in a 4x2x5 tent.
I agree, I put the paper towels in the tupperware, close the tupperware and put a towel over it for darkness. Then I put it on top of my fridge. 100% germination rate.
I can say this, I ran 400 actual cfl watts and could barely keep temps below 85, w/my Blackstar temps are at 70-72 and the plants are growing better and faster than cfl's.
Subbed, good to see you growing again Kona. I can't wait for the update. Fyi.....I've never seen more than 22% thc and that was Afghan Kush Autoflower I think....I'm not sure I would want 35% thc as the Afghan Kush kept me couch-locked and munching. Hopefully the Cheese and Super Silver are a...
That is not what I want to hear. Speed controllers(just like everything else in growing) is something you get alot of different opinions. Some say they work great and some say they make it louder. I'm going to order one from HTG in a month or so just to see.
For sure way less heat than cfl's. I'm about to put a small heater in the closet my tent is in to attempt to raise the temps. I run constantly at 70-72.
In my opinion, a 440 cfm fan is going to be too loud and move too much air for your space. I have a 4x2x5 tent w/a 200 cfm fan and carbron filter, and for lighting I have the 2012 240 watt Blackstar LED and I am buying a speed controller to turn my fan down b/c I no longer have any heat issues...
